3✨I watched the animated version many times. I was happy to see it was really similar, but also that caused me to not have any major excitement. Solid classic. 🥰 #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

3✨ I liked that this had real danger, and I learned a bit about different types of bells. I felt that shaming Bess was more obvious in this one, but she was also a hero when another character was in trouble. Ned is suddenly back from Africa and jumping in to help like the koolaid man. 🤣 Overall, solid Nancy mystery. #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

Then a singular form again. I‘m struggling with these ones though. 😬

Well, I‘ve been having trouble finding a state fair, so how about a state unfair… grasping at straws there. 😅🙃

Here is my list for #castthedie @PuddleJumper My lucky book will be the tagged. I‘ll be honest I might read all of these, but the first one(s) I read will be the die rolls. 🥰

3✨ The second book in the series gives a lot more background as you read. It does some flashbacks. I‘m not a fan of flashbacks, and even less a fan of love triangles so not completely my cup of tea. I liked the writing, the emotion, and the world is a fun concept.

5✨ I could not put this down! It was amazingly suspenseful, and really creepy. I figured out some of what was going on, but not right away. Being a rotational resident learning the different specialties is hard enough, but being in the psychiatric wing at night is definitely not what I would call an easy shift to cover. Especially, when one of the patients is deemed to be extremely dangerous. Even the patients are worried.

4✨ Reading the last book in this series I‘m reflecting over a whole picture. In this book it goes through three sisters and their different experiences until they joined each other. Obviously, this is a heart wrenching series of an unprecedented time. I‘m so thankful for the research and interviews with real people so we have it documented.

Guys!!! The author liked my review! 😍😍😍 My inner fan girl is screaming in glee. 🥰🥰🥰

Enjoying this snack while finishing the tagged. I learned this from friends at my first job. It might be a Hispanic culture thing, but they always got excited at the bottom of the bag of chips (sometimes breaking them down more) and covering it in lemon juice and their hot sauce of choice. I find I get excited now and have even shared the tradition with my kids. 🥰💛

Yes!! It took me forever, but I caught myself back up! 🥰💛

We do not care we have been watching our food intake and exercising to get the pesky baby weight off at 39. It‘s our baby boys birthday and he has Ninja Turtle Cupcakes! 😍🥰💛 #WDNCW @dabbe

I found the #FableBR for #RoaringWolfFrightNight at the library. It‘s a large print so it‘s 1,181 pages. 😅 You know just a light read. 🤣

Finally found something. I know it‘s the plural, but I also got head-butted by my son right when I found it so I need the win. 😬🤣💛🤕 #WickedWords

3✨ Another mystery of a missing person. Nancy is to look for a sister who is to inherit a home before the time runs out on the offer. As always Nancy, Bess and George find themselves in trouble, and Ned is away for school so he can‘t save them! Monica enjoyed cuddling while I enjoyed a seasonal treat. 🥰 #DogsofLitsy @Librarybelle #NancyDrewBR

Well, I finished this one. Yet, some of those scenes I really wish were out of my head. 😔 It also didn‘t last long on my bracket.

My favorite book was great, but not Nightingale great. 😊

I read 12 books in August somehow even with teaching. 🤯 It was a pretty good month too. 🥰💛

Gandalf says I can‘t take a picture of my #Roll100 for September. Soooo.. the tagged, Moon rise, and The Dark Rising are the selections for this month. 😅 #CatsofLitsy

3✨ Nancy finds herself in another mystery after she almost runs into someone standing in the middle of the road on a stormy night. More fakes being made of priceless pottery. Not a bad story. #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

3✨ Danielle‘s cousin comes to town in order to seemingly make her life miserable. They don‘t get along, and Danielle thinks she is there to take away half the inheritance from their grandmother even though the will was clear, the mind of their grandmother may not have been. Walt is still present in this book and there is a lot of funny moments. I‘m really enjoying this series.

3✨ This was a cute romance, and sisterly love book. I laughed at Phoebe‘s clumsy ways, and cringed at interactions between other characters. While her sister was not with her through a lot of the book, it made it more interesting with the interactions she made with three other characters. When the sisters were together it‘s the type of relationship all sisters should have with love and acceptance. #LittensLoveRomance

F found this book in the free books at her school and got it for me. 🥰💛

3✨ This is not something I would have picked up for myself. I struggled with the teen pregnancy and the girls were cared for, but not well. One character was so young and her story was difficult to read. The imagery in certain scenes was graphic and hard to get through. I felt like I was closing my eyes for a scary scene in a movie, but peaking through my fingers to actually read that scene. As a mom this hit me really hard. #FableBR

My book haul! All of them have colored edges! 😍 Gandalf wanted in the picture too. 🤣 #CatsofLitsy

3✨ This was not my favorite book in the series. For one I like Chaol and Dorian as a team with Celeana. They don‘t have to be romantic interests just helping each other. Now there was growth in the characters, and Dorian finds a healer that he might be able to trust. The ending had me crying, angry that they killed a character that I liked, and excited for the next book. Major mixed feelings, but excited to see what happens next!

5✨ Telling you why this is a high pick for me would give away the ending! So instead I enjoyed this one slowly. It had two POVs one being a guilt ridden boyfriend of a missing girl, the other a girl that lost her memory. While we follow his effort to find his missing girlfriend we also follow her path to remembering herself again. The ending! I thought I knew what was happening, but Lally surprised me big time! #HTBookClub

3✨ Anne leaves college to pursue her career. There are lots of challenges outside of green gables, but she finds friends everywhere she goes. No matter the challenge Anne is always ready to take it on.

4✨ Following a pregnant woman to a store to get the crib she should have got a long time ago it seems like any other day. However, a massive earthquake causes disaster to strike her town. The only thought on her mind is to survive and find her loved one‘s. I enjoyed this book and the consistent flow it had. While the ending was good I would have liked an epilogue of what happened after that last moment.

3✨ Trigger warnings for suicide and bullying. Marjorie is back with Wendell and we meet Mr Duncan‘s daughter. She doesn‘t really fit in with the popular crowd that Marjorie is hanging out with. She is interested in photography and ghosts. Marjorie befriends her, but only when the popular kids aren‘t around. This was deeply emotional and can show how you can help someone facing deep depression by the end.

3✨ This is a chunkster of a book that goes over a lot. We have a few main characters throughout as one little girl grows up. Did I follow along the whole time? No. I was interested in the people and how they grew, but there was quite a bit of battles that just didn‘t interest me.

3✨ Enna‘s brother comes home and learns how to make fire using power inside of him that he didn‘t have before. When tragedy and war break out in their country Enna is at a crossroads in what to do when she learns the fire power too. It is the second book of the Goose Girl series and does feature characters we met in the first book.

3✨ The second book made me laugh just as much as the first. Especially, when Kingsley the frog is in the scene. We get more backstory of the villain, Kingsley and others throughout. The villain seems to be losing or having trouble using his magic. Sage and the villain not admitting they like each other even though it‘s obvious was a little much, but overall I really enjoyed it.

3✨ I felt that this was more about mice and rats than a zoo. It had quite a few side stories, and it was apparently after the giant snail ride. #DolittleDiscussion @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

My best book is Dog Man! I‘m going to need another cutesy graphic novel as my break from heavy books. I‘m thinking investigators.

My worst book for July.

My August Bingo Board. 🥰💛

My #Roll100 books for August! Excited about the tagged book. 🥰😍💛

3✨ This was the last book I was able to read in July. I wasn‘t a fan at the beginning, and just couldn‘t focus on the different POVs with who was who. I enjoyed many of the animal scenes, and by the end I was understanding what was happening. I appreciated the discussions from #Camplitsy25 which helped me to figure out the roles of the different characters and finish this book. Honestly, since I started work that was more my issue than the book.

This author is just amazingly hilarious. I got this email via a Goodreads review, and I‘m excited about this new book because he promised Brownies if we ever met. 🤣

I should finish the tagged book this month and then hopefully narrow down my growing que. it‘s caused because I keep reading new series and not reading my other books. 😅 #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Yay! That email made my day. 😍 Can‘t wait for the gingerbread book in September. 🥰💛

I can‘t believe July is coming to an end already. So many more books I wanted to read this month, but just didn‘t have the time. But as we close out this month, I want to introduce the new books for the #FableBookClub. If you like the thrills and chills, join us at the #RoaringWolfFrightNight. If fantasies more your speed, join us at #TheWyvernScrolls. Check out @Littlewolf1 ‘s post for the links! 🥰

We had open house just now and tomorrow is the students first day back. I might be more absent, but I‘m excited to make myself proud, and my students excited about my subject matter. 🥰💛 (Toilet paper is my tissues if you were curious) 🤣

4.5✨This was a really fun read. It had fantasy with magic, deep sea scuba diving for ship wreaks, crazy unexplained natural phenomena, and a couple of plot twists. There are 3 main POVs that help tell this story and it is mapped out really well. Since there is a time line change there is quite a bit of characters which I struggled with, but it was everything I hoped for. 🥰 #HTBookClub

Book haul from @Littlewolf1 unhaul. Thank you! 🥰💛

When you have book club tomorrow and you are behind. Gandalf has other ideas. 😅 #CatsofLitsy

3✨ It helps provide perspective to different walks in a trans persons life. As a cis person I don‘t know what this feels like, or the struggle. I like the strength that Abigail had in this book to be herself. I also like the support she found. While I struggle with the teacher/student dynamic in this book. I also know that it was more about how there are people who want to understand, and time and effort are how we can get there. #CampLitsy25

1.) F took her karate belt test and did really well! 🥋
2.) Went back to school and even though I already know I have challenging students I realized we made connections in summer school! 🥹
3.)S got her hair badly cut by F and still had a good attitude. 😬😱
4.) Tess and Monica learned to sit!!
5.) In my back to school picture I showed off my new Scooby Doo lanyard! 😍

3✨ I liked that they talked about taking care of the animals better in circus‘. Dolittle is constantly getting himself into jail because of his animals. There is only a few side stories this time so it follows one main plot. Not a bad read. #DolittleDiscussion @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
